amazing coach

Chapter 18 Alkmaar’s Fury()

Alkmaar's players hadn't warmed up on the court for a few minutes and hadn't discovered Jiang Mu cheating on the court. They thought it was because of the artificial turf. At this time, the referee and the fourth official sent by the Dutch Football Association arrived.

On the court, the game will officially start soon. Players from both sides go back to the locker room to change clothes and follow the coach's final arrangements before taking the field.

In the visiting team's locker room, Van Dijk looked serious and said to the 11 starting players: "The opponent is just a fourth-level amateur team, but the more this happens, the less we can capsize in the gutter. Not only do we have to

To win, we need to win beautifully. I hope to end the suspense of the game in the first half. I don’t want to talk about tactics now. If we have to talk about so many tactics with a fourth-level amateur team, we won’t have to rush to the first division.

But I hope you don’t underestimate the enemy. This is a team in the same city as us. Not to mention losing, even if we score fewer goals, we don’t have the face to meet our fans.”

"Ten to zero! Score them ten goals."

"Never give them a chance to turn over."

"Winning them is not a piece of cake."

The players of Alkmaar have also been stifled by the interviews between the Oriental Dragons players and Jiang Mu these days. They all clamored to express their determination to the head coach and wanted to teach those amateurs of the Oriental Dragons a lesson.

players.

Van Dijk nodded when he saw the players were in high spirits and high morale. He led the team with the highest morale, and he had to have good morale in the game. For this kind of amateur team, as long as the morale was high and they were suppressed, it would be ten times better.

It will definitely collapse after a few minutes.

In the home team's locker room, the atmosphere was very relaxed. Jiang Mu was talking to the players, but the background music was Zhu Bajie carrying his wife, and Jiang Mu's speech before the battle was also very relaxed and humorous.

"Alkmaar is the boss here, but we can't give face to the boss today because the boss bullied us. Of course, the boss is stronger than me and can fight better than us, otherwise can we call him boss? But we can't be afraid,

Everyone will be timid when they play against a professional team for the first time. If someone says he is not scared, he is lying. Some people are timid, but this does not prevent them from fighting like warriors. A real hero is one who, even if timid,

They are still men who fight bravely. Some players will overcome their fear in less than a minute. Some will take an hour. Others will take about a few days. A real man will not let fear defeat his sense of honor and responsibility.

But if anyone needs a few days to overcome fear, please tell me and you can start planning now and participate in the next game. If it takes an hour, please tell me and you can be the substitute."

The players all burst into laughter at Jiang Mu's light-hearted teasing.

"Actually, the boss came to us to challenge us. We should thank them because they gave us a chance to become heroes and bosses. After winning this game, the brothers here today will gain a qualification worthy of bragging. Twenty

Years later, you will be glad that you participated in this game. At that time, your grandson will sit next to you and ask you: "Grandpa, you said you played football, what achievements did you achieve?" You don't have to cough awkwardly.

He said hesitantly: "Ah... Grandpa forgot." On the contrary, brothers, you can stare directly into his eyes and say confidently: "Grandson, grandpa, I defeated a professional team in the Dutch Cup.

Alkmaar, look! It’s the Eredivisie team!"

"Kill the boss and be a brave man."

Applause like a rainstorm came from the simple locker room. The players of the Eastern Dragons respected Jiang Mu from the bottom of their hearts. Although Jiang Mu was very young and smaller than them, in the past few months, Jiang Mu used his own

His intelligence and charisma win the respect of everyone.

When Jiang Mu said these words, some players recorded these words, which were later circulated and used by many media and coaches as a classic example of pre-game mobilization.

At 2:50, AZ Alkmaar and Oriental Dragons walked onto the court from the locker room. The Dutch Cup round of 16 competition slowly began.

As the host, Jiang Mu walked over to shake hands with Van Dijk, but although Van Dijk extended his hand, his eyes were fixed on the sky, as if he had discovered a UFO in the sky, deliberately making Jiang Mu look bad.

Jiang Mu was not angry. He smiled and returned to his seat with satisfaction. The more arrogant his opponent was, the happier he was. An arrogant soldier will inevitably lose. Only in this way can he have a chance to defeat his opponent.

On the court, Alkmaar's captain Maher and Oriental Dragons' captain Ke Liang were exchanging team flags, emblems, sides and the right to serve.

Ke Liang and Maher actually knew each other, but on this occasion, the two simply hugged each other and did not communicate further.

As the game time approaches, there are more and more fans. When the needle points to 3 o'clock, there are already seven or eight thousand spectators surrounding the Oriental Dragons' open-air stadium. There are men and women, and most of them are Al

Most of the residents of Alkmaar City are Alkmaar fans, and some of them come to watch the game because the two Alkmaar City teams are playing. In fact, due to geographical reasons, Alkmaar plays in the league.

There were not many fans at that time, only three to four thousand people.

"force."

As the referee blew his whistle, the fourth round of the Dutch Cup began with a 32-to-16 match.

The first to kick off was Alkmaar, the leader of the second division. Under the orders of the tough and manic head coach Van Dijk, Alkmaar's players wished they could beat the Oriental Dragon to a pulp at the beginning. After receiving the ball, they all

Attacked and raised the defense line directly to the center circle, not paying attention to the Eastern Dragon at all. Because in their view, this was not a heavyweight contest at all. It was really a matter of fact that fighting the Eastern Dragon was against them.

An insult to professional teams.

However, the Oriental Dragons have long been mentally, mentally and tactically prepared for the difficulty and toughness of the game and the strength of their opponents. Facing the aggressive opponents, the Oriental Dragons players use three midfielders and four defenders as their main defensive system.

The fence was tightened, and the three forwards harassed Alkmaar's defense in the midfield and struggled patiently with Alkmaar.

However, the difference between professional teams and amateur teams cannot be made up for by external factors such as venue, number of people, and morale. The forward who was performing the harassment task had to come back to defend after playing for less than two minutes and put down the iron bucket.

They came to deal with an Alkmaar team whose level was far higher than theirs.

Less than five minutes into the game, Alkmaar's players felt something was wrong. It was not like they had never played on an artificial turf field, but today's field was completely different from artificial turf. The ball speed was extremely slow and the ball was running.

Without exerting force, his feet slip, and he has no sense of footing at all. His passes that are almost 100% accurate without pressing are often not in place.

Some attentive Alkmaar players took the time to squat down and take a look, only to find that the turf was too long and was entangled with their feet. What was even more annoying was that there was a thick layer of sand sprinkled on the turf.

"Sprinkle sand? Pig! It's so dirty!"

"Despicable Chinese! How can you play football on such a long turf?"

"To use such a trick!"

The AZ Alkmaar players were angry and yelled at the Oriental Dragons players.

The players of the Oriental Dragons did not show any weakness, nor did they feel wronged at all. They quarreled with the Alkmaar players confidently.

"This is our court and we can do with it what we want with it."

"That's right, shouldn't we play football up there?"

"Stop making excuses for yourself, you are already at this level, just a second-tier team."

This is also one of the tactics of the Oriental Dragons. They use all means to attack their opponents and make them lose their composure. The game lasts for 90 minutes. As long as you can prevent your opponents from performing at their true level within 90 minutes, you will win.

Even if Alkmaar can win a hundred times later, it is useless. Football is a game of winning within a certain period of time.

Van Dijk, who was on the sidelines, also saw the situation on the court. He angrily grabbed a handful of sand and said to Jiang Mu: "Is this the coaching style of your Chinese coach?"

Jiang Mu's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He spread his hands and said, "We are also playing in the same stadium. Isn't this unfair?"

"Shameless! Even on the beach and vegetable fields, we will still defeat you." Van Dijk said with a livid face.

"What else can I say? I thought your level would change depending on the venue." Jiang Mu said nonchalantly.

Van Dijk was choked by Jiang Mu and stopped talking. He stood on the sidelines and kept shouting to the players, asking them to maintain their front line and score goals as soon as possible.

Of course, Alkmaar's players also want to score quickly. However, although their opponent is an amateur team, their defense is very good and they have a lot of defenders. More importantly, the field is too poor and the passing speed is slow.

Alkmaar's offensive speed cannot be increased. Without overall speed, it is difficult to break the Tie Tong Zhen's defense with technology and body alone, even if the opponent is an amateur team.

Alkmaar could not break the Oriental Dragon's defense for a while, and the Oriental Dragon team could only parry, but had no ability to fight back. Even the three forwards had gone back to being defenders, and they were unable to attack Alkmaar and press forward aggressively.

Due to the loopholes, the game was in a stalemate from the beginning.

Jiang Mu was sitting on the sidelines leisurely, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the game at all. In fact, his smart computer was already collecting and recording all the information about the game, and was analyzing the situation at any time.

But Alkmaar's head coach Van Dijk was sitting on pins and needles, standing up and sitting down now, without any poise and restraint that a coach of a professional team should have, like a frizzy young man, which made Jiang Mu secretly laugh. The fans around him

After seeing the contrast in postures and expressions between the two people, they were both surprised and admired that Jiang Mu had such composure in such a competition.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Alkmaar, the leader of the second division, still couldn't do anything to this little brother from the same city who was four levels behind him. Not only that, they even had very few chances to shoot. Moreover, the game scene was ugly and the rhythm was ugly.

Slow, and there are occasional mistakes in passing. There are endless illegal physical confrontations. Because the Oriental Dragons are an amateur team, the referee has relatively loose requirements for them. As long as there is no malicious and hurtful action, they will turn a blind eye.

It has passed, and at most it is a warning or two.

This made the Alkmaar players, who had no sense of peace before the game, even more angry and impatient. They became very impatient in offense and just wanted to score goals in the fastest and most relieving way. Crossing from the bottom and personal ability became their top priority.

The most conventional weapons, but in the face of intensive defense, the bottom pass and personal ability are the least efficient, and they cannot break the intensive defensive tactics that the Eastern Dragon has trained for a long time.
